@@ -311,6 +311,13 @@ Users can therefore know how much of a given DAMON region has a specific data
 attribute by reading the per-region per-probe probe hits counter after each
 aggregation interval.
 
+Users can optionally register probing preparation actions per probe.  If such
+actions are registered, DAMON applies the actions to each region's sampling
+memory before starting the next sampling interval.  Currently only one action,
+``set_pgidle`` is supported.  The action marks the page for the probing target
+memory as access-idle.  This can be useful to be used together with
+``pgidle_unset`` probe filter.

 This is a sampling based mechanism.  Hence, it is lightweight but the output
 may include some measurement errors.  The output should be used with good
 understanding of statistics.
